PrestaShop operates with a hook system (also called "points d'accroche" in French), here is a brief introduction to get started.
The principle is as follows: each area of a page on your front-office (header, menu, top of the page, bottom of the page, etc.) is associated with a hook. This system allows modules to be precisely grafted into this location and therefore to modify a specific area of your shop's web page. This system is primarily intended for developers, but as a merchant, it is important to understand how it works.
Access the list of hooks
There are a large number of hooks in PrestaShop. The easiest way to find the complete list of hooks is to consult the technical documentation directly. It is written in English, as is the case for most software.
Knowing which module uses which hook
You can see which modules are grafted onto your shop's hooks. To do this, go to the "Design" menu then "Positions" to view all the hooks used as well as the modules associated with these hooks:

💡 It is possible to modify the position of the modules via this same page. To go further, consult our article on the subject: Modify the position of the modules. |
